Easy kale chips recipes are what you need in your busy lives when you want a lower carb gluten free chip. We all seem to love chips, but many people are becoming more and more aware that fried chips may not be the best thing for their health.
One of the easiest alternatives to a bag of chips is to learn how to make easy kale chips recipes. It's a tasty way to eat kale, but in a more enjoyable and "familiar" way.
You could always just go out and buy some kale chips as they are in every grocery store these days. However, if you are as picky as me, you'll want to make them yourself to ensure the best quality ingredients.

You should bake your kale chips at the lowest setting of your oven with the door cracked open to preserve as much nutrients as possible. You can also use Dino (which I prefer) or curly kale leaves in your recipes. Dino kale will contain less oxalates. |

Sauce Ingredients:
Remove the hard stem or fibrous core from kale leaves and tear into smaller pieces.
Be sure to wash and thoroughly dry the kale. You can use a salad spinner to quickly dry your washed kale leaves.

You will need a dehydrator in order to make raw kale chips unless you happen to have an oven that goes to a lower temperature. Most ovens only go down to 170 degrees F - which denatures all enzymes.
Space your kale leaves on the dehydrator trays, so they will dry evenly. Dry your kale chips in the dehydrator for a few hours and then flip them - dry for a few more hours (until crispy).
The time it takes for your kale chips to get crispy will depend on the temperature of your dehydrator, the humidity in your kitchen, and the amount of "sauce" or oil on your kale chips.
Nutritional yeast is a cheesy tasting "supplement" that a lot of vegans seem to gravitate towards. Good quality nutritional yeast comes with lots of B vitamins, essential minerals like chromium, and 18 amino acids. Nutritional yeast is a deactivated type of yeast that will not add to a Candida yeast overgrowth problem. You will find nutritional yeast at just about any health food store. There is good-quality nutritional yeast and then there is bad quality nutritional yeast. Unfortunately, most commercial brands will contain MSG which is formed by high heat and chemical processing. |
Good-quality nutritional yeast will be non-GMO and grown from molasses. It will also be low temperature dried - without chemical processing. |
